A college disability service provider is responsible to provide accommodations to college students in their classes. In a remote area on an outer island it is difficult to access high technology. Dragon was used to accommodate Deaf students who had not yet learned sign language. Using a laptop and a sound muffled mask, along with Nuance Dragon software, the students were able to have all oral communications repeated by a person who we call `Dragon Master`, sitting next to them, therefore creating a text for the students to have a transcription of the lecture and conversations of the class. We have used this process with Nuance Dragon software in all types of classes for 2 years. These students have been able to maintain a 3+ GPA, and are able to continue their education while learning sign language.
